those are hard-linked, most likely the same file in both subdirs (not
identical files, a single file hard-linked twice)
the /etc/sysconfig/networking/* subdirs can exist on C5 as well, I think
they're used by system-config-network

on a C6 machine I have those dirs are empty, as on your C5 system. I
probably never used system-config-network on it. Networking through
/etc/init.d/network functions fine without them.
